I Was Born This Way

B. Jones - C. Spierer

I'm walking through life in nature's disguise - yeah You laugh at me and you criticize - yeah 'Cause I'm happy, carefree and gay Yes, I'm gay Ain't no faught - it's a fact I was born this way - oh yeah Now I won't judge you Don't you judge me We're all the way nature meant us to be I'm happy, I'm carefree and I'm gay I was born this way I'm happy, I'm carefree and I'm gay I was born this way I'm happy, I'm carefree and I'm gay I was born this way I'm happy, carefree And I'm gay You call me strange - you don't understand - no God's roll for me in life's overall plan - yeah I've learned to hold my head up high Not in scorn nor disgrace I'm doin' my thing individually Entwined with this human race Now I won't judge you So don't you judge me We're all the way nature meant us to be I'm happy ... I really can be me (Gonna tell the world about it) I feel good (Gonna tell the world about it) Gonna shout it out (Gonna tell the world about it) Oh yeah You gotta change, change Hey hey, I was born this way Change, change I was born, I was born I was born this way I'm happy, carefree ...
